Compression pre-stapler firing and post-ignition wait during sleeve gastrectomy: a prospective randomized trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insufficient research exists on the stapling technique in and duration of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG).

Objectives

This study aimed to assess the clinical outcomes using a 30-second precompression and post-firing waiting time without extra support for the stapling line.

Design and settings

Randomized controlled prospective study at a university hospital.

Methods

This study included 120 patients treated between January 2022 and February 2023. The patients were divided into the non-waiting group (T0) and waiting group (T1), each with 60 patients. Perioperative complications were analyzed using statistical tests.

Results

The waiting group (T1) showed a significant reduction in the number of intraoperative bleeding points requiring interv
